#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
I'm doing just Fine with Buck Erpestad. Check out Bucks music here:

Here is what Buck said he added:
"So I used the tremolophone (vibes) and tuba sounds in Garageband and played them on the keyboard."
"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.
One of my other hobbies is watching wildlife in the area. I'm the happiest with a pair of binoculars around my neck and my hiking boots laced up.
Rita and I took these photos over the last few days, near our home.

I would love to see one of those owls in the wild. Unfortunately, I'd have to go out where they are, and when it comes to winter I'm a great indoorsman ! My Mom would have loved this. She was an avid bird watcher and feeder. I learned a lot from my childhood excursions tagging along in the woods and fields.

Gorgeous birds ! Great pictures and video. You added a very nice music melody for the film. I got a kick out of the notification for you post. The site said you had posted something and it was "so hot" they didn't know the details yet. :=) c

As an old forester, wildlife man...I'd venture a guess this is a pretty young "flyer." Great sscenes, notice old insulator on wire near shed...and the banjo music is wonderful...just wonderful...best to the two of you...v.g.
Noodling with the "art guitar" in DADGAD tuning in the Serra sculpture Vortex at the FW MOMA. No fx added, all natural reverb/delay inside the structure.

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
Found this little chappie while I was preparing my latest original for loading.
It was a quick demo recorded on my Boss Micro BR sometime in October or so last year (2011) while I was working on Shine.
It was a sort of "blow the cobwebs out…

Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice.
And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.
A bit of comic relief is good when you have some writers block. I had he song mapped out years before I recorded it. I need to record its companion "Won't you please squeeze my udder Farmer Joe?".
So MTC put out [this wonderfully sparse instrumental piece](http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/shadow-of-myself) and a vocal line just jumped out at me. Then some harmonies jumped out as well.
The harmonies are fantastic, but it's the complete package that caught me.
It's as if you both knew the end result before you ever started.
Excellent . . . Just Excellent

From a few years back. Bill Pohl, Darrin Kobetich and I playing in the lounge at the Ridglea theater, in Fort Worth, Tx. Our first performance as "Strung, Drawn and Quartered". Notable because of my first use of live looping.

Third time through . . . I'm still laughing!
I hardly recognized the old gal from the lyrics I sent. She's all grown up now.
"Ronnie Cream Cheese" has a way of doing that to the ladies.
Destine to be a Classic.
You have created a very thought provoking song. Well done Terry!

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff

The tuba had me in stitches when it kicked in - but it's so RIGHT! Cool track.

Great pictures Greg combined with nice flowing music. Perfect as usual.
A country song in fine form

Cool! Was this at Cleary Lake or Murphy-Hanrehan? And aren't snow owls nocturnal? The banjo playing is OK, too.
Snowy nostalgia for my am coffee time on alonetone The owlet is dressed for Minnisota

That's why I just eat the box. :) Most enjoyable tune. I'm looking forward to your RPM effort.

Sad song
Once again, great idea! The natural acoustics of the room really show off your guitar playing.
I may have set up the PA outside and play this for all the local canine. Then there would be some tail wagging for sure!
Beautiful What a great idea!
Great Message, and I like hearing that banjo.
Pretty acoustic sound. Very light and airy. I like the string bending too.
GOOD GAWD !!! Big Sound to fit the Big Legs. She must be a special gal.
Nice interpretation. This song brings back memories.
Different and interesting.
I think this is a masterpiece! You have captured the essence. My wife brings order to my chaos too, 36 years now.
Well played. After reading your notes I've decided to be nicer to you. Just kidding.
Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice. And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.
Refreshing. I like the sound of an acoustic guitar, and I really like the sound of acoustic and electric combined. Nice
I like the lead in and a little levity is always a good thing.
Suspenseful and Interesting. M O R E W I N E

I stopped by for my morning chuckle. I wonder if you have ever considered psychoanalysis?
Interesting music. You have some facinating sounds and textures going on here.
